Rocket Man burning up .... the fields of Avalon ... and the soundtrack of my life from being a 7 year old pausing the tape to write down the lyrics to Your Song for my musician Dad to sing, as a 9 year old dancing in the playground to Crocodile Rock, as a 12 year old buying Don’t Go Breaking My Heart from Woolworths and almost wearing it out, as a 15 year old going alone to see his Single Man tour at the Birmingham Hippodrome with him on grand piano and Ray Cooper on percussion, as a teenager listening to Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road on vinyl on repeat in my bedroom, as a student seeing him in Manchester in the 1980s then to 2023 and bearing witness to his farewell UK gig in my favourite place in the world ... 52 years of love and gratitude for this true survivor who is not only still standing and still energised by new music but just did the greatest gig of my life. .... highlights of whole festival here • Glastonbury highlights...
